Sunday F.A. Cup Third Round action: Miller picks Chelsea vs Morecambe and Crawley Town vs Leeds United

Both matches start at 8:30 am EST on ESPN+

Could easy F.A. Cup Third Round tie be just what Chelsea needs right now?

Frank Lampard is struggling.

Timo Werner is struggling.

Chelsea is struggling.

But Sunday, the Blues might feel better about themselves, facing a team in the F.A. Cup Third Round that is seventh in League Two, 66 places below Chelsea in the English football pyramid.

Look for Chelsea and Leeds United to win rather easily.

But if Chelsea struggles? As Mr. Poopy Butthole says, OOOOH WEEEEEE: Lampard could be in serious trouble, and not even Rick Sanchez could save his job at that point.
